Sorry to hear of Pat's passing.

Knew both Pat the Betty through West Monona.
Miss the times we spent together--- but was nice to see how the family has grown -- and that the ceremony will be St. Bernard in Blencoe.
Wish you all well --- and know you are in my prayers.

My prayers, sympathy and God's healing love for all of Pat' s dear family here on earth as well as in heaven. "Life has changed. Not ended." Eternal rest to you, Pat.
